Materials Data on MgSi2 by Materials Project
Abstract
MgSi2 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to nine Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.10 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg and ten Si atoms. There are one shorter (3.07 Å) and one longer (3.14 Å) Mg–Mg bond lengths. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.19 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Si atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.16 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three Mg and nine Si atoms. The Mg–Mg bond length is 3.18 Å. There are a spread of Mg–Si bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.17 Å. There are eight inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five Mg and four Si atoms. There are a spread of Si–Si bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.56 Å.more »
